The Struggle of the Reborn Prince
Chapter 87: When the City is Broken
"The divine soldiers have invaded the Jin Army's camp!"
"The flag at the gate of the Jinjun camp has changed!"
"The divine soldiers captured thousands of horses from the Golden Army!"
"The divine soldiers are riding horses to kill the Jurchens, victory is in sight!"…
The news of victory blew like wind throughout Bianjing City and outside. Zhao Huan was overjoyed. It seemed that his prayers had worked. God finally heard his voice. But just when he was too excited to control himself, an even more explosive person appeared.
News reached the palace that the Jurchens had captured the outer city!
The contrast between the two pieces of news is too big. The "live broadcast of the Divine Soldiers Fighting the Jurchens" just now was just a way for Guo Jing to confuse everyone. The people who were stunned by the sudden victory were already in chaos and had no time to care about the truth of these rumors.
No, they only saw the magic soldiers swarming out of the city, and their hearts were full of envy...
But there was a scene on the other side of the tall city wall. The Liujia Divine Soldiers had just crossed the suspension bridge and crossed the moat. The quick-legged Divine Soldiers were eager to make a contribution. They collided with the noisy Jurchen cavalry and kept moving forward.
of
The magic soldiers soon discovered that the invisibility method mentioned by Guo Shenxian didn't seem to be very effective. They looked at the soldiers on the Jurchen cavalry, waving cold light in their hands and slashing at them with swords and spears hesitantly. There was nothing they could see.
There are signs to follow.
Thousands of divine soldiers in the front army were killed by hundreds of Jurchen cavalry in a single charge. As soon as the rear army left the city, they collided with the front army and most of them fell into the moat outside the city. Guo Shenxian immediately ran away.
I understand that this time the bullshit was too big, and it went to the sky. Now the bullshit
The skin was broken, and the city was going to be broken. If I stayed there any longer, I would probably be eaten alive by people. So I rushed down to the city to use my magical power with myself, but my feet were all wet. Except for a few people who were tightly united with the gods as the core, I
As the commander-in-chief escaped, thousands of troops turned into ghosts in an instant...
The Jurchen army attacking the city outside the city was stunned for a moment, and then continued to launch a round of charge on the city, because these Jurchen soldiers attacking the city also felt that today was different from the past. After the city gate was opened, the top of the city
Just now, there was a rain of bullets, but for a while, all the troops and drums were silent. They didn't care about the gods. They just knew that there would be heavy rewards for those who got there first, so they took this opportunity to quickly set up siege equipment at the top of the city.
Seeing the Jurchens swarming towards the city gate, the city had already ignored Guo Shenxian's prohibition. Zhang Shuye was shocked and immediately shouted to the soldiers to close the city gate and go up to the city to defend against the enemy. The soldiers on the city hurriedly pulled up the suspension bridge.
Only then did we realize that it was easy to put it down but difficult to pull it up. There were dead bodies on the suspension bridge, and there was no way to put the suspension bridge away. The soldiers hurriedly closed the city gate, and then the Jurchens were kept out.
At this moment, the Jurchens were already using ladders, bridges, goose carts and other siege equipment. There were densely packed Jurchen soldiers standing on the top of the city. The general in charge of the defense in the south of the city was Si Guo Zhong, who was in charge of the guard horse army.
When Xun saw that the Jurchens were about to rush into the city through the city gate, he personally led his elite soldiers and generals to close the city gate with great hardships.
He was still breathing. Seeing that all the guards on the city fled in a blink of an eye, Guo Zhongxun couldn't help but feel angry and anxious. Others could run away, but he did not dare to escape because of his duty, so he led his men to the city.
rush
They wanted to retake the city. The Jurchen soldiers were very puzzled when they saw that this Song soldier did not run away but wanted to retake the city defense. Without waiting for the commander's orders, they drew their bows and arrows one after another, and rained arrows on the attackers.
Song Bing shot him away.
In an instant, the offensive and defensive positions changed. They were attackers just now, but now they have become staunch defenders of the city. The Song people's defense was still unable to support them, so they were allowed to attack from their backs. Even more reluctantly, they rushed forward after just a few steps.
After being shot by a flurry of arrows, they retreated in embarrassment. As they ran, they shouted: "People, hurry up!"
Rush to the city, we have to go to the palace to rescue him." Zhang Shuye hurriedly stopped the soldiers from escaping, but his arms were slashed three times by the rebels. More than 10,000 defenders here actually turned around and ran down the city, even the most elite
Ban Zhi didn't dare to step forward to resist the enemy. The people who were willing to go to the city all left in droves!
In the chaos, rumors spread all over the walls of the capital. Some said that Jin soldiers had broken into the city from the city gate; some said that Guo Jing was a spy and had let the Jin soldiers into the city. The defenders in Nancheng wanted to escape, so they shouted: "Fan Tongzhi has sacrificed Dai."
"Demen"; the defenders of Caomen wanted to escape, so they shouted: "Captain Lu sacrificed Fengqiumen". The shouting made people everywhere panic, the soldiers threw away their weapons and armor, and the people were so scared that they fled in all directions.
The Jin soldiers first broke through the Chenzhou Gate and immediately set fire to the city gate. Then the Dongshui Gate was also broken down. When the residents living on the inner side of the city near the city gate saw the Jin soldiers coming, they hurriedly helped the old and young to escape to the inner city.
Anyone who moves slower will suffer
The Jin soldiers killed. Commander He Qingyan and Chen Keli died in battle; Huang Jing, the eunuch who oversees the Dongcheng army, cried bitterly and bowed several times to the imperial city before jumping into the fire; Commander Yao Youzhong led his troops to suppress those who spread false rumors.
, but was killed by the rebels.
Liu Yanqing, who was the envoy of the Four Wall Guards at that time, saw that the inner city could not be entered, so he took his son Liu Guangguo and led troops to escape from the Wansheng Gate in the west of the city. Most of his troops were infantry. As soon as he ran not far away, the Jin Kingdom
The cavalry quickly caught up and started a massacre of the cavalry against the infantry. Liu
Yanqing was driven into the Jinming Pool by the Jin soldiers, drowned and trampled to death. When his son Liu Guangguo escaped, he also took the concubine of former prime minister Wang Fu with him. Although he had a horse, he was still trapped when he escaped more than ten miles outside the city.
Jin Bing caught up with him. Seeing that he could not escape, Liu Guangguo first killed his concubine and then committed suicide.
In contrast, Qin Yuan, a commander, rushed out with some security guards, that is, security team members who were not even militiamen, and met the Iron Kites heavy armored cavalry troops of the Jin Army outside the city head-on. Looking at the contrast, there was a huge disparity.
It was decided, but he fought bravely and actually cut through the barrier
Escape. At this moment, all the generals in the city can continue to fight and survive, only Zhang Shuye and his son. After the "miracle" was shattered, they fought with the Jin army, and then fought with the Song army. They retreated while fighting, and retreated to
The edge of the inner city has become the military's only hope...
Han Li, who had entered the city, did not want to think about fighting for so many days. He should send his troops down to the city and have some fun first, but his suggestion was stopped by Zong Han. Zong Han thought that there were millions of residents in Tokyo, and Sgt.
There are still tens of thousands. If they send troops to wash the city, and once the Southern Emperor leads the residents to fight desperately in the streets, I am afraid that ten thousand of their 100,000 troops will be lost in the city.
Han Li didn't think about it, and felt that Zong Han was right. The rabbit would bite people when it was anxious. If the Song people were really anxious, they would definitely fight against him. So the two of them jointly issued an order to the whole army and ordered all sergeants to
All retreat to the city. Anyone who dares to go down to the city to kill the people of the Southern Dynasty will be exterminated! The Jin soldiers immediately retreated to the city after hearing the order.
The golden men on the top of the city only guarded the city firmly, fearing that the rebels and the common people would rush out. Even so, the Song soldiers and civilians, who were frightened for no reason, killed each other and trampled on each other, and countless people died.
There was bright red everywhere. At this time, officials were disguising themselves and hiding in shabby houses with their wives and children, while the desperate soldiers and the rogues in the city took the opportunity to cause chaos.
Although the Jin soldiers have not yet entered the city, the chaos in Tokyo has not eased at all. The soldiers and civilians in the outer city scrambled to escape to the inner city. The soldiers guarding the inner city were afraid that the Jin soldiers would take advantage of the situation to attack. They did not care about the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the outer city.
, forcibly closed the city gates one by one. The soldiers and civilians outside the city gates beat the city gates and shouted at the top of their lungs, and the sound of wailing shook the sky.
At this time, it was no longer possible to control the order in the city. It was the Jin people who set fire to the south of the city, and the Song soldiers who set the fire in the city. The city and outside were in full swing. But it could not give the people in the city a warm feeling. The Jin army on the top of the city looked down at this
prosperous city
Although they did not rush down to the city, the shining swords and guns made people frightened. However, the soldiers of the Song Army who were supposed to be fighting bloody battles with the enemy on the city were now like bandits. The defeated soldiers were wandering around and looting.
Rich people. Kill people and buy goods, which is chilling!
The military discipline of the Song Dynasty was corrupt, and rewards and punishments were not known for a day or two. Those who risked their lives in battle often did not receive generous rewards, while those relatives and disciples of the powerful and powerful who did not risk their lives received generous rewards and high-ranking officials. On the battlefield
Those who were seriously injured were often given light rewards, while those who suffered flesh and blood wounds
But they were rewarded heavily. Those who died in battle were not given compensation and were often punished as fleeing. This has many disadvantages. It is difficult to make the soldiers use their lives. Now that they are defeated, they vent their hatred in the past on the former dignitaries.
The troops who suffered the most casualties in the city were the ones causing the most trouble.
In recent years, the shortage of forbidden troops in Bianjing City has been serious, so they have to be selected from various Xiang armies to fill them. These soldiers have the same important task of guarding the four walls of the city as the divisions of the Fourth Army. Most of the generals were formerly assigned to the southeastern bureau.
Of origin, most of these people are relatives of powerful people. They have no ability or skills at all. They are just trying to make ends meet, and they are just trying to make money with their salaries.
Therefore, not all the officers and soldiers who defend the city are so dedicated in battle. On weekdays, this is okay. Now that the situation is critical, it is a big deal for soldiers not to fight. However, in the past, the shortcomings of loose military discipline have emerged, and generals often cannot control soldiers.
The soldiers did not pay attention to the generals, and it was Wang Zonglio, a fool, who did stupid things.
In the past few days, Wang Zongli saw that the siege of the city was tight and the Jurchens were swarming in. He ordered his troops to defend the city. However, these soldiers resisted passively and out of urgency, he actually deceived these soldiers: If they helped in the battle, each of them would receive a reward.
bowl
Five of them, those without official positions were promoted, and those with official positions were promoted to three levels in a row. These soldiers were overjoyed when they heard that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, so everyone worked bravely and fought for the first place. Everyone killed the enemy bravely, and actually beheaded and attacked the city.
The Jurchen soldiers numbered thousands.
After the battle, I went down to the city to rest, but I didn't know that all the rewards I had hoped for when I was fighting with the Jurchens just now were in vain. I didn't see the letter of appointment for promotion, and the golden bowl was nowhere to be seen. The soldiers all cursed Wang Zongmao, and they were worried.
There were anger and complaints. At this time, Wang Zonglio sent someone to urge them to go to the city to respond.
Even honest people are only half a beat slower in reacting to things. How could they risk their lives again after they have just been fooled? They all refused and said they should eat solid food first. The emperor cannot send hungry soldiers to sacrifice their lives.
! Not to mention your little palace commander. When the Jin army entered the city, they escaped first, and took advantage of the chaos to plunder the city. The officials did not give it to them, so they took it themselves...
………
News of the Jin army's attack on the city spread to the imperial city behind Jiuchong, and there was also chaos. When Emperor Zhao Huan heard that the outer city had been breached, he cried bitterly and regretfully shouted: "I regret not listening to the teachings of Master Zhong."
..." It's a pity that the good general has passed away and the good minister has fled far away. I can only sigh in vain and regret it. The sky is not responding and the earth is no longer working.
After venting for a while, Zhao Huan regained his consciousness and sent his guards to invite the Supreme Emperor and his wife who lived in Longde Palace into the palace and let them move to Jiuchong. This was not entirely for their personal safety, but to guard against ulterior motives.
The courtiers and the Jin people robbed and took away the "overlord".
Although he has long since lost power, he is still a problem in Zhao Huan's heart. At this time, he is even more rare. If he escapes and establishes a new court, his efforts will be in vain. If he is placed under his nose, he will be easier to control.
And it is convenient to fulfill filial piety,
Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it? Zhao Huan's behavior once again proved that there is no tenderness and family affection in the imperial family. Everything is based on profit. Even when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, do not forget to take care of the family.
The Emperor is well placed
Afterwards, Zhao Huan urgently ordered ministers to enter the palace to discuss matters and discuss how to face the current danger of annihilation. However, most of the officials and ministers did not come. By dusk, even most of the eunuchs in the palace had escaped. He looked around
one
Next to me, there were only four people from the Jing Wang Zhao Qi, the Hubu Shangshu Mei, who was in charge of the ceremony, the Yushi Zhongcheng Qin Hui, and the Libu Minister Xie Ke's family. Fortunately, when the country was destroyed, it was not as miserable as Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. There were actually several people who risked their lives to enter the palace to serve as Hu Jia.
Minister.
Later, Prime Minister He Li learned that Sun Fu, the Minister of Privy Council, and Lv Haowen, Secretary of the Ministry of War, came over and signed a letter. Zhang Shuye, the Privy Councilor, also entered the palace wrapped in his wounds. All the civil and military officials of the imperial court usually received their royal salary. Today,
At the critical moment of the country's survival, one by one disappeared, and these were the only people around him who were willing to share the difficulties with him as the emperor. "A loyal minister knows a loyal minister". At this time, the emperor and his ministers were speechless when they looked at each other, and there were only a thousand lines of tears!
The night is already deep, but no one in the palace can feel sleepy at all. Everyone wants to ask: "What should I do?"
"Your Majesty, if there are no ministers and ministers taking the lead at this time, motivating the army and the people to fight bloody battles with the gold thieves, the ancestral temple and the state will surely become ashes and rubble. As the prime minister, it is my duty to leave the palace immediately and lead the army and the people to fight in the streets..." He Li knelt down with a thump.
Zhao Huan said in front of him.
Zhao Huan looked at the prime minister who had no power to restrain a chicken. He knew that He Li was timid by nature. At this time, this frail scholar was also motivated by the national justice and went to fight with the tiger and wolf troops of the Jin Kingdom.
Zhao Huan felt so bad that he didn't know what to say.
He Li got up from the ground and was about to summon the squadron of the Fourth Army to guard the palace. Suddenly someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the palace guard split open the left door with an ax and said he wanted to see the emperor."
"How can we break into the palace?!" He Li said in shock. He and Sun Fu hurried to the entrance of the hall, and saw hundreds of people standing outside in the darkness, each holding a sharp knife, led by the palace commander.
Jiang Xuan, Li Fu.
"The country is in this state today because the prime minister trusted his treacherous ministers and refused to speak out." After saying this, he drew out his sword, rushed forward and pushed He Li away, and he and Li Fu broke into the palace with a few people. Zhao
Huan's face turned pale with fright.
Jiang Xuan and Li Fu probably wanted to achieve a great achievement at this moment. Ignoring the scoldings of several ministers in the palace, they slashed down several chamberlains who came to stop them with their swords. They pulled Zhao Huan's sleeves and insisted on asking the officials to mount their horses.
They protect
Wei Sha went out of the city. The problem was that Zhao Huan was not familiar with them, and he didn't know what his brothers were thinking. Wouldn't it be a bad thing if he was kidnapped and given to the Jurchens? Of course, he refused to go with them, and there was a stalemate.
stand up.
"Are you going to escort the driver or rob him?" He Li asked loudly again. At this time, he could no longer stand back.
"Bold!" Someone took the lead, and Sun Fu also stepped forward to ask, signaling a few servants to quickly take the officials away and push them out.
"Master Sun, if the officials didn't have to defend the city with incompetent people like you, the city of Tokyo wouldn't have been attacked." Jiang Xuan was not afraid. Now the emperor himself also pulled people and killed them. He also risked his life and cursed loudly.
.
This sentence touched the heart of Sun Fu and He Li, and they were choked to the point of speechlessness. Both of them were scholars who had read "Zi Yu Si Yun" since childhood.
But he knows nothing about it.
When they came to the city, they were entrusted with important tasks. They did act erratically and made many mistakes in their plans. In particular, they trusted Guo Jing and allowed the Jin soldiers to take advantage of the situation and attack the outer city. The soldiers and civilians in Tokyo resented them and regarded them as
The sinner who harmed the country!
At the critical moment, it was Qin Hui who stepped forward and stopped the angry two men. He calmed down the atmosphere on the grounds that the emperor still needed to prepare for his patrol. The servants also took the opportunity to help the weak-legged official escape from the attack range of Jiang Xuan and Jiang Xuan.
.At this time, Lu Haowen stepped forward again
After some reasoning, he temporarily frightened the two of them and invited the two great gods out of the hall. Then Qin Hui asked Zhao Huan to promote the two of them. At this time, how could Zhao Huan be wrong, so he ordered
King Jing Zhao Qi sent an edict to promote Jiang Xuan to the post of defense envoy.
Just as things were done here, the palace sergeants broke open the Huitong door and robbed the inner treasury utensils. Qin Hui had a trick and immediately sent Jiang Xuan, who had just been promoted to an official, to suppress him. And this Jiang Xuan may have achieved his goal.
Pidianpidian went to quell the rebellion and calmed down the robbing sergeants, and then the palace finally calmed down...
In fact, the Jurchens only actually occupied the southeastern corner of Bianliang City at this time, and did not completely control Bianliang City. The frightened Song people fled north of the city one after another, and the northwest became their temporary safe haven. At this time, the city
It has become extremely unsafe, so the only option is to get as far away from this place of right and wrong as possible.
At night, under the clamor of everyone, a group of defeated troops gathered and rushed out. As for where the way forward was, no one could tell clearly, and no one knew who escaped the city and escaped with their lives.
, especially when the country is in chaos, who can tell the difference?
What? But it also illustrates a truth, what can't escape can never escape, waste will always be waste... (To be continued. If you like this work, (.) vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support is
